Product Overview

The Electro-Harmonix polyphonic SYNTH9 Synthesizer Machine transforms your guitar or bass with 9 presets that were precisely tuned to emulate the most sought after, vintage synthesizer sounds ever! From searing lead synths to spacey synth pads and deep, funky, synth bass grooves, it’s all accessible.

The SYNTH9 does for analog synthesizers what the B9 did for organs and the KEY9 did for electric pianos: now anyone with an electric guitar can play analog synth emulations of classic Moog®, Oberheim® and ARP® synthesizers, amongst others, without the need for extra devices such as cumbersome 13-pin MIDI pickups!

The EHX SYNTH9 is also super easy to use with DRY volume, SYNTH volume, CTRL1 and CTRL2 knobs that provide precise control over each preset’s parameters.

If you dig the kind of classic synth sounds made famous on recordings by groups like ELP, EVH, Kraftwerk, Joy Division, P-Funk, Peter Gabriel and more, we think you’ll love the SYNTH9.

Presets

OBX – An emulation of the meaty sounding Oberheim OB-X. CTRL 1 is a tone control. Use CTRL 2 to select between 4 octaves.
PROFIT V – The Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 provides inspiration for our versatile PROFIT V preset. CTRL 1 adjusts the sweep time of a downward filter envelope. CTRL 2 selects between 8 intervals of either octaves or 5ths.
VIBE SYNTH – A polyphonic synthesizer with decaying harmonic content and vibrato. CTRL 1 sets the power and sweep range of harmonics. CTRL 2 adjusts both vibrato rate and depth simultaneously. As you turn CTRL 2 clockwise the vibrato rate and amount increases.
MINI MOOD – A big sounding Moog® inspired synthesizer that blends a portamento synth with a non-portamento synth. (Portamento is when notes glide from one to another.) Turn the SYNTH VOL knob to set the volume of the non-portamento synthesizer. Use CTRL 1 to adjust the output volume of the portamento notes. CTRL 2 sets portamento time. This preset works best when you play monophonically, one note at a time, where every note is picked. To play faster licks, try turning down CTRL 1.
EHX MINI – An emulation of the classic Electro-Harmonix Mini Synth. CTRL 1 sets filter envelope sweep time and direction. When CTRL 1 is set to a point within its counter-clockwise range, it sets the attack time for the filter sweep; when set clockwise beyond “noon” it controls the decay time of the filter sweep. CTRL 2 selects between 4 octaves.
SOLO SYNTH – A fuzz-synth preset where a synth oscillator and a fuzz square wave guitar are combined to create one single extreme synth tone! CTRL 1 is a tone control. CTRL 2 selects between 4 octaves.
MOOD BASS – The Mini Moog® and Taurus pedals served as inspiration for this preset. MOOD BASS works best when played monophonically. CTRL 1 adjusts the sweep time of a downward filter sweep. CTRL 2 chooses between 3 octaves.
STRING SYNTH – Our emulation of an ARP® string synth. CTRL 1 is a tone control. CTRL 2 sets filter sweep attack time.
POLY VI – Inspired by the Korg Polysix. CTRL 1 is a tone control. CTRL 2 sets modulation depth.
